Singer 2017
Singer 2017 is the first season of Chinese television series of the rebranded version of I Am a Singer season 5.

It is aired on Hunan Television and produced by Hong Tao, and its music director is Hong Kong senior musician Kubert Leung. It will be recorded in the Hunan Broadcasting System Radio and Television Center, Changsha, Hunan on January 10, 2017 and aired from January 21 to April 22, 2017 on Hunan Television.[1]
